Well it's time I posted about our Thanksgiving trip to Florida this year. We spent 10 wonderful days down in Orlando! Over the holiday we stayed with our good friends the Burns' and then we moved down to WDW property the Sunday after Thanksgiving and stayed there until the next Saturday.
The boys did really well on both flights. And even with their schedules getting all out of whack (which is just inevitable when you are having a good time), they did awesome! We did learn to not pack as much and just do some laundry. LOL! With 2 kids, a monster stroller (which ruled!), 2 suitcases, 1 golf bag, and 4 carry-ons; we had a TON of stuff! We are definitely downsizing the amount of crap we bring with us on the next trip. Oh! And the Travel Space Bags are a serious life saver!!! I got one package of those and then 1 package of the Bed Bath and Beyond brand ones to use for the trip. It was well worth it! In fact I'd probably recommend just getting the BBB brand ones (you only get 3 bags though in a box), their largest bag was huge and I got all of the boys clothes and swim diapers in it. Yes, I do rule with packing thank you! :)
Noah's favorite park had to be Magic Kingdom. He was running around like a fool and we could barely keep up with him! Brandon was so good about falling asleep in his car seat that we let Noah dictate when we left the parks. If he was still doing well after a bite to eat for lunch we stayed for a while and then he would pass out on the way back to the resort. It worked out well and we were able to really let him enjoy as much as possible!
We're looking forward to our trip in March! :D Brandon will be almost 10 months old then, so I'm really excited to see his reactions this time. Nothing really fazed him this trip. Not even the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party fireworks woke this kid up. Hallelujah for that!
Here's a link to the album of our pictures! I'm still going through all of them, so make sure and check back later for more!

4 Months!!
Brandon is now 4 months old! I seriously can not even believe it. He's such a little ham now. Constantly cooing, blowing bubbles, and giggling. We had him in for his 4 month well baby visit this morning. So here are his stats!
Height: 25 inches (50%)
Weight: 13lbs 3 oz (25%)
Head: 16 3/4 inches (60%)
He's very healthy and happy so that's awesome! Plus he's eating like a horse. He's been getting us up again in the middle of the night lately. If it keeps up I think we are going to start him on cereal as when he wakes up he's hungry. So the milk might not be cutting it anymore. But we'll see. I'd really like to wait until 6 months to start him on solids.
More pictures will be coming!!!

I'm going back. Back! Back....
Back to school! LOL! Well I am, but not for what you all might think. In fact I'm heading back to my alma mater, good ole Minnetonka High School. Go Skippers! :)
Why may you ask? Well I'll tell you! My chiropractor's friend is the new yearbook advisor at Tonka. She wanted to find a photographer to come in and talk to the kids to help them out with their pictures for the yearbook. Well she thought of me (god love her). When she told me, I looked at her and said "I was the editor in chief my senior year at Minnetonka, plus I was the photo editor." LOL! Fast forward 2 weeks and I get an email from her friend.
So now I am pleased to say that next Friday I will be going back to High School for 2 days. Friday I'll be "teaching" and then sending the kids off to take pictures. Then on Monday I'll come back and we'll see what they shot. I'll give them some tips, and such.
I'm super excited and nervous all rolled into 1. So I'm going to put a presentation together for them as well as some form of a handout.
Wish me luck!
